Definitions

  • the invention relates to disc or funnel-shaped, which will be referred to hereafter as composite umbrella-shaped, insulator sections formed of synthetic material and which are moulded onto a fiberglass reinforced supporting trunk; and the invention also relates to a method of fixing such umbrella-shaped insulator sections to the insulator trunk.
  • Composite insulators of synthetic material are comprised of a supporting trunk; or core and umbrella-shaped sections moulded thereon.
  • the supporting trunk preferably assumes the mechanical and support functions, while the umbrellas, on the other hand, assume the electrical functions.
  • the trunk may be of solid construction, and is preferably in the form of a fiberglass reinforced rod as in the case of insulators for overhead lines, but the trunk may be hollow, as in the case of housing insulators.
  • the umbrella-shaped sections of composite insulators of synthetic material are preferably moulded or cast onto the trunk subsequent to formation of the trunk and in a separate operation. For the moulding operation, the use of negative moulds is of questionable value.
  • the composite electric insulator consists of a fiberglass reinforced trunk which is completely or partly covered with sleeves of polymeric material.
  • the sleeves are widened or flared, and they are placed on top of one another at one end of the trunk in order to form a chain of umbrella-shaped insulator sections.
  • the sleeves or insulator sections may likewise have an internal screw thread that cooperates with a thread on the trunk. The insulator sections are then screwed together and cemented to the fiberglass rod with a suitable adhesive.
  • German Pat. No. 2,044,179 a method is also known in which the casting of the umbrella-shaped insulator sections is effected using an open, undivided casting mould which is moved downwardly step by step following the casting of each umbrella-shaped insulator section along the vertically arranged fiberglass reinforced trunk of synthetic material. Gradually, all of the umbrella-shaped insulator sections of the insulator are formed by this one mould. In the process, through an upward and downward movement of the mould, the part of the trunk which is located between the umbrella-shaped insulator sections is covered with a layer of synthetic material by means of the liquid casting mass in the filled mould.
  • the invention is designed for providing disc or funnel-shaped composite umbrella-shaped insulator sections of synthetic material which are formed on a fiberglass reinforced supporting trunk but which avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages.
  • the method of the invention for fixing the insulator sections to the trunk it is furthermore intended that the umbrella shapes have a large so-called protected surface-leakage path.
  • a solution is sought for mounting umbrella-shaped insulator sections of different sizes or forms conveniently on the insulator trunk.
  • a prefabricated umbrella-shaped casting mould which may be used only once, is comprised of a thin umbrella-contoured surface which leads into a tubular socket-shaped part.
  • the latter part has suitably formed, inwardly facing centering aids and a sealing lip at its lower end.
  • the cavity created between the trunk and the umbrella-shaped casting mould is partly or completely filled with a hardenable synthetic material which is similar in its elastic and thermal properties to the material of the mould, so that the umbrella-casting mould employed becomes an integral part of the insulator umbrella.
  • the method of the invention comprises fixing disc or funnel-shaped composite umbrella-shaped insulator sections of synthetic material to the fiberglass reinforced supporting trunk.
  • the umbrella-shaped casting moulds may be of different sizes and/or different forms. They are stacked one immediately above the other and are permanently united with the supporting trunk simultaneously or in series in one operation by casting or injection of a hardenable synthetic material into all mould sections in the stack.
  • each umbrella-shaped mould may be open or closed at its flared end.
  • a prefabricated umbrella-shaped casting mould may also be provided with ribs for reinforcing purposes.
  • the inner surface of the prefabricated umbrella-shape casting mould is roughened.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional elevational view through an open umbrella-shaped casting mould on an insulator trunk;
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of an umbrella-shaped casting mould having reinforcing ribs
  • FIG. 3 is a section through closed umbrella-shaped casting moulds on an insulator trunk.
  • the umbrella-shaped casting mould 1 is an open mould which is secured on the insulator trunk 6. More particularly, the umbrella-shaped casting mould 1 is comprised of a thin outer, generally umbrella-contoured surface 2 and a lower tubular socket-shaped part 3. Socket 3 is provided with internal centering aids 4, which, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, are bosses at spaced locations around socket 3. These centering aids 4 enable the umbrella-shaped casting mould 1 to be aligned on the trunk 6, yet they do not interfere with the filling of the mould by material 7. Preferably, a point bearing action is obtained from centering aids 4. At the lower end of the mould 1, there is also an annular sealing lip 5 which is either normally applied against the trunk 6 (position 5a) or is so designed that it applies itself against the trunk 6 only when the following or next in line casting mould is pushed upwardly (position 5b).
  • the mould 1 may be smooth or plain internally or it may be roughened or provided with grooves 10 to increase the area of contact with the filling material.
  • the body of the mould 1 itself may be variously constructed and in particular it may be formed so that it is thick to a greater or lesser degree. In the extreme case of thickness, only the narrow gap between the casting mould and the core has to be filled with hardenable synthetic material.
  • the area within mould 1 is provided with one or more spaced-apart annular sleeves 9, which advantageously have a plurality of throughflow apertures 13 arrayed around and passing through the sleeve so that the entire filling of the umbrella-shaped mould can be achieved in a single filling operation.
  • Sleeve 9 seats on interior surface 10 and projects up through the interior of mould 1.
  • FIG. 1 shows an open mould
  • FIG. 3 shows a closed casting mould.
  • the umbrella-contoured surface 2 comprises in this case the generated umbrella-shaped surface or shell 2b and a top closing-off cover 2a applied thereto. If it is desired to cast a plurality of umbrella-shaped sections simultaneously onto the trunk, it is convenient to omit the sealing lip 5 as leakage along trunk 6 is not a problem during moulding of a set of insulator sections. This is also shown essentially in FIG. 3.
  • the hardenable synthetic material 7 between the casting mould 1 and the trunk 6 it is important that a satisfactory bond be obtained between the two materials of mould 1 and material 7.
  • the umbrella-shaped casting mould 1 forms an integral part of the finished insulator umbrella.
  • there is a vital difference here from the umbrella-shaped casting moulds employed heretofore With the previous moulds, care had to be taken to ensure satisfactory removability of the mould after the filling material had fully hardened.
  • a type of material which meets all requirements that are placed upon an insulator section 7 material must be employed for the umbrella-shaped casting mould 1.
  • the hardenable synthetic material should be chosen of the same kind as, or a similar kind to, the material for the umbrella-casting mould 1.
  • the filling material must be such that it ensures a satisfactory bond with the supporting trunk, so that the different mechanical and thermal expansion values of the supporting trunk 6 and the filling material 7 as well as of the umbrella-casting mould 1 do not permit any inadmissible weakening of the bond zone.
  • the umbrella material For a synthetic material insulator which is resistant to outdoor atmospheric conditions, the umbrella material must, in particular, be non-tracking, resistant to hydrolysis, resistant to ultraviolet radiation and ozone and sufficiently strong mechanically.
  • a highly elastic filling material such as, for example, cycloaliphatic epoxy resins, silicone rubber, butyl rubber, fluorosilicone polymer and polysulphides.
  • one or more umbrella-shaped casting moulds 2b are pushed onto a vertically suspended trunk 6.
  • the umbrella-shaped casting moulds are thereafter completely or partly filled simultaneously or in series with the hardenable synthetic material 7.
  • the filling material enters free from voids, especially in the region having a narrowed gap, at the socket part 3, i.e. in the vicinity of the sealing lip 5.
  • This aim is served by the already mentioned centering aids 4, which prevent a one-sided bearing action of the umbrella-casting mould against the trunk 6.
  • the gap between mould and trunk is kept free for the entry of the filling material.
  • Another advantageous method includes enabling a limited flow through the gap between the umbrella-casting mould 1 and the core 6 and ensuring sealing only after the filling material issues evenly at the lower end of the neck of the bottom mould 1, i.e. at lip 5. This may be done by pushing up the casting mould 1 located from below, with the sealing lip 5 then bearing against the trunk.
  • Another possibility for producing a uniform filling comprises moving the umbrella-shaped casting mould 1 up and down on the trunk 6 after filling or, advantageously, placing the insulator to be filled on a vibrating or jolting stand.
  • the desired lengthened protected surface-leakage path can be obtained either by means of a prefabricated cover 2a which, in accordance with FIG. 3, is applied to the lower or underside of each next higher umbrella mould 1 or by the above-suggested technique of forming different chambers within the area to be filled with hardenable material by means of an annular sleeve 9. These different chambers make levels of the filling material of different heights possible.
  • the umbrella-shaped casting moulds may be prefabricated in large numbers independently of the manufacture of the insulators. As a result, cheap moulding processes may be used.
  • an insulator according to the invention is substantially reduced. If an umbrella section forming material is employed which makes hardening or curing in a warming oven necessary, this step is required only a single time with the method proposed, whereas with the methods of the prior art, this had to be done with each individual umbrella-shaped section. Moreover, it is also possible to employ umbrella-shaped casting moulds of materials of the highest mechanical strength, whereby a further number of problems arising in practice are solved. Also, by using prefabricated umbrella-shaped casting moulds and by avoiding filling of each mould as far as its rim, satisfactory expansion of the cast umbrella-shaped sections is obtained.
